Balmain was approached by number of high net worth Unitholders of the named City Pacific First Mortgage Fund, to launch a bid to take over the management of the Fund. At the same time, Trilogy Funds Management was also approached by a separate group of Unitholders to take over management. Balmain and Trilogy joined forces and launched a bid to take over the management of the Fund.
Following a Unitholder vote in June 2009, Balmain and Trilogy¹s bid was successful and Trilogy Funds Management limited was appointed as Responsible entity of the Fund and Balmain Trilogy Investment Management Pty Limited was appointed as the Investment Manager (Balmain Trilogy). Balmain Trilogy appointed Balmain to perform all credit, administration and recovery functions.
At the time of being appointed, the portfolio consisted of 40 loans, of which 37 were nonperforming loans, with an impaired value in excess of $650 mill. Within 18 months of taking over the Fund, Balmain was able reduce the Funds core debt facility by $62 mill, extend the funds finance facility for 2 years, undertake recovery action against all loans, have 5 cents of capital to Unitholders, complete several large residential development projects, rectify and reposition security assets to restore and add value and commence legal action against previous service providers who we believe have caused significant losses to the Fund. Balmain Trilogy continues to manage the fund in the best interests of Unitholders and it is targeted to return $295 mill in capital to all Unitholders by October 2012.
